Changing a Citrix XenApp farm to use port 8080 for the XML service port

If you ever do any research on what port to use for the XML service in a Citrix XenApp environment, you’ll notice that there are options to share port 80 with IIS, use port 443 with SSL on IIS and finally port 8080. I haven’t really found any official documentation on what is best practice but I was able to find forum posts where Citrix engineers recommend the use of port 8080 and not to rely on IIS.

The process of changing the XML service port to 8080 is quite easy but since I know I’m bound to forget after not having to perform the configuration on a regular basis, I thought it would be good to write a blog post so I can reference it in the future.
